"Well, Dorothy, I should hope the min

ner. shall tell the story at the table, just
as it is; and they'll have to make the best
Of it, too.'
This view was finally acQuiesced in all
round; in fact, there was nothing else to
do. Mrs. Cleghorn and her girls busted
themselves in the kitchen. Captain Brad
street arrived before breakfast, and young
Sol, accommodating at q parlor window, re-
ported more hugging and kissing than he
had seen in a year. Excepting the younger
sister, who stayed at home to care for the
preparations made, the whole family at
tended an extraordinary centennial Christ
mas meeting. They listened to a sermon an
hour and twenty minutes long, and the
deacon sang with unusual JUNCTION. Attwo
o'clock all were gathered about The long
table at home, with the minister, the doc
tor, the lawyer, and their wives, and the
Captain. It was a bountifully spread
board, even without a turkey.
The ''grace before meat was said, and
| the deacon, with q slight 'ahem" was
about to proceed with his apology and X
PLANTATION.
Then something very astonishing to him
occurred.
The door into the kitchen opened, and Job
Harkins appeared, shaved, hair nicely
brushed, and with a clean white apron.
On a great platter he bore aloft the missing
turkey, done to a beautiful brown, nicely
garnished, presenting a perfect picture.
"Just out of the oven, sir,' said Job with
great solemnity, placing it before the
Deacon.
TIL Of surprise and approval
caused by it's unusual size allowed the good
man and his family time to gather their
wits, and appear as though nothing u
usual had happened. A boisterous inquiry by
Master Cleghorn as to wheret that came from,
was promptly suppressed. The Deacon's
spirits rose; the feast proceeded; the turkey
and other viands were amply discussed, and
fruit and coffee there were laughter, mirth
and conversation all around the table

ners himself, but with his stern face at the
table, the children would be obliged to sit
like dummies, and eat in sepulchral silence,
for the father was q firm believer in the
doctrine that 'children should be seen, not
heard,'' and allowed no frivolous chatter
ing at meal-time.
She had been putting away surreptitious
balls Of butter and dozens of eggs, in the
hope Of being able to smuggle a few little
trifies quietly into their stockings, but her
heart vas heavy with a sense Of her in
ability to make the holiday such a one as
she would like.
'Jane," said Mr.. Rexford, coming in
from the village with an envelope in his
hand, II don't know what ever you'll do,
but I'll have to leave We for awhile"
"What is it, Mr.. Rexforda" she asked, in
surprise; it was very seldom either duty or
pleasure took him from home.
"Why Johns dead, an they telegraphed
me to come and tend the funeral, an l
s'pose it's my dooty to 60"
"Of course it is, Joseph replied the
wife, and I'll get along all right. Billy
Grant will come over and do the chores"
John was Mr.. Rexford's brother, another
branch of the Rexford family tree, which,
though not as gnarled and knotty as Joseph
himself, still bore enough resemblance to
prove his relationship beyond q doubt.
There had been as much Of a repressed
and undemonstrative affection between
them as could be expected, and this, com
bined with a sense Of duty, procured his
absence from home at This opportune mo-
ment for the children.
Such an event had only occurred once or
twice in their life time before; GASES in the
dreary desert of their experience, which
were looked back to with delight.
slow long shall you be gone, Mr.. Rex
ford:" asked the wife. She could not
mourn for the brother-in-law whom she had
never seen but once, and whose attitude
then had not been such as to inspire affec-
ton, and a faint hope was springing up in
her heart that for once the children could
awe a holiday worthy Of the name.

eyes, necessary evils, from which to extract
the greatest mount of work with the least
amount Of love and money.
The mother rose, lamp in hand, and fol.
lowed them softly; she helped them un-
dress with soft, gentle touches, and then
drew them to her side for their evening
prayer. Little Nan, ten years of age, was
just at the point Of tears, and when she
came to the phrase in her simple prayer
.sGod bless papa and mamma her voice
broke into q mufled sob. It was so hard to
pray for the father, who apparently loved
them so little. .

ering little form to her heart; t~sperhaps

Ted was thirteen, and in his rebellious
feelings omitted the customary phrase
from his prayer entirely. .'Fhe mean old

ana hence they came to be considered as honest
reports, and as snch were believed by people at
large. Dire pictures of the utter faithlessness
OF Russian sodery were drawn, and it was re
peated again and again that a large portion of the
omcers OF the Russian army were Germans who
would never turn their swords against the faith
erland. 1t was said that many Nihilists and
SOCIALISTS were in the ranks, and that in the
event of war the Czar would find his
army, so far from being protection -and in
strument in his hand for offensive warfare, that
protection from the army itself would be mo-
mentous question to Russia's ruler. All this
and more WAS said and predicted, and it found
its way into general creduity. The fact. how

in better condition than at present.

SALIsBURY'S VICTORY.
The Anglo-French Convention a Great Tri-
umph for England's Prime Minister.

The Anglo-French Convention a Great Tri-
umph for Engiand's Prime Minister.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
LONDON, Oct 25.-After fair and careful dis
cussion of the Anglo French convention relat-
ing to the Suez canal. it is generally conceded
that the treaty itself. together with the accept
ance by poth parties thereto, is q triumph for
Lord Salisbury, who personally conducted the
negotiations. and will go long way toward
compensating for the governments shortcom-
ings in Ireland and in the matter of local gov
ernment the neglect of Parliament to reform
which has caused considerable agitation. The
Tory press are jubiant over the signing of the
convention, and a majority of the French news
papers equally well pleased though the
qualification of the latter springs from entirely
different ground. The SoleIl aud other Paris
journals assert that while the neutrality of the
canal is not only desirable but absolutely nsces-
sary, the intent of the treaty and the good
suits expected from it not be reached so
long Egypt is occupied by British troops
Neutral Egypt is quite necessary a neutral
canal, and it is contendsd that the one must
exist a means of accomplishing the other
beyond question.
